7. Omerta (The Code Of Silence) Is Meant To Be Broken

Omerta seems to be a consistent theme in this film. Apparently, cycling teams take the code very seriously, meaning if they see their teammate doping up, it is never discussed. But let's look at the facts: Pretty much all of Armstrong’s teammates discussed his doping with the press at one point or another. So, we're pretty sure that negates the whole law-of-silence thing. Basically, if someone pinky swears you that he won’t tell anyone that you’ve cheated your way to the top, consider yourself outed -- at least when it comes to the sport of cycling.
